Hello NY Chapter 2

A/N: Hello! This is an update to the first chapter. I'm sorry its quite short! But I hope you enjoy! I've definitely got more coming, but I just don't have the time! GAAHH.. carrying onn…..

Warning: minor Sakura bashing. You have been warned!~

Naruto stepped out of the elevator and glanced down the plain corridor. Apartment 156 - his girlfriend Sakura. Naruto rapped on the ochre coloured door once... Twice... "Hey Sakura! It's me Naruto!"... No response. All he heard were a few moans and sounds of pleasure. "Nasty neighbours." he cursed. Next, he tried the bronze knob; and to his surprise, it twisted open. A sweet smell tickled his nose and recognized it was cherry candles. The ones he bought for her birthday the past year. He searched the kitchen, living room, and study. He then proceeded to check her bedroom. Mentally face palmed himself for not checking there in the first place. Worn feet softly tread the plush carpet as he walked towards her prettily decorated door."サクラ" it stated – Sakura was a petite Japanese girl that Naruto met in his arts school. They had bonded over their relations to Japan. Naruto's biological mother was Japanese and his parents wanted to give him a name of his roots. "Yes! Oh YES!" Naruto heard. 'Oh god! How does Sakura stand living here with those neighbours!'

Denial. We all know it.

Rough hands found the dilapidated brick wall of the back of the old apartment block. Shocked, Naruto leaned against the alley wall and sat uncaringly onto the concrete. He felt heart rise to his face and his breathing started to level.

'What did I do to deserve this?' He asked himself, 'I've always been good, if not great to her! Ugh, bitch.'

After a moment in thought, Naruto decided to pay a visit to the local Starbucks.

Sighing, Naruto plopped down onto a stool along a long bench, setting down flowers –meant for Sakura.

"You seem like you didn't have a good day. Wanna talk about it?"

Surprised by the forwardness, Naruto turned to look at the speaker.

A pale face greeted him. He smiled a simple smile.

"Um, nah, don't worry about it. Just some girlfriend problems."

"Oh, I'm sorry about that…" he paused, "So, you sure you don't wanna talk about it? I'm a good listener and hmm, how about I treat you to another round of coffee?"

Naruto smiled at the kind offer and replied "Sure, I've got nothing better to do anyways. I'm Uzumaki Naruto by the way."

"Same, and I'm Sai."

"So wait, you didn't actually see her with another man?"

"Yeah, well I mean, when I was walking out I heard some dude scream out her name… So who needs to guess?"

"Oh, sorry to hear abou-"

"Nope, don't worry. She can be a pain up the ass sometimes anyways. You know, "Naruto! Clean your room! Wash those dishes in your sink! Throw away those ramen cups!" hahahaha reminds me of someone" Naruto mimicked a old woman's voice

the two boys laughed at the thought of a girlfriend/mother 'eww gross! Hahaha'

"Ah, girls… not many aren't like that. I… Try to stay... away from them.

"Smart choice, I think I should start listening to you."

"Yeah and right now, the best thing to do is kick back, grab a beer and relax. Who knows when next time's going to be when you are tied down by another lady?"

"Agreed." The blonde nodded enthusiastically.

As the two young-adults idly chatted away, dusk falls over the city. Naruto checked his phone for the time and was shocked.

"Oh! I have to leave! I've got a meeting to go to, haha I guess I lost track of time. Nice meeting you Sai, hmm here have my card" Naruto handed him a small business card with a try-to-be-professional look on his face "I've always wanted to do that!" He laughed.

"haha, okay, pleasure is mine. Thanks for letting me listen by the way."

"No, no, good to know I'm not a total loner now! Be seeing you!"

With that, the golden haired boy walked out of the cozy Starbucks towards the carpark.

"OI BRAT! WHAT THE HELL TOOK YOU SO LONG! We had to wait extra long after work for you to arrive!"

"Heh, sorry old hag. OUCH! Sorry Aunt Tsunade…." Earning a whack on the back of his head, Naruto rushed into the conference room at his office and was greeted by a very angry aunt and some flustered co-workers.

(Sasuke POV)

There is a certain amount of times you can read the safety information booklet, only a number of times where you can remind yourself to not pull out a smoke. Gentle whirring surrounded Sasuke as he unbuckled his seatbelt. The gentle murmur of small talk conversations whispered around. A few more valued hours left on this sanctuary kilometres up high; no one bothered him-apart from that one pesky blonde air stewardess that seemed like she drank a hundred too many red-bulls. Another boring business conference, why do I ever agree to Itachi's wishes? Sasuke thought. I wish I can just have some time to myself. Without the work related anything. Hahaha yeah, I wish.

He pulled out his trusty iPod and turned it up full blast.

Ignore the world, ignore the world. Hm, what is this song? He had put it on shuffle. Sasuke has this thing he likes to do. Open up his library and just put it on shuffle. This way, he can discover new songs that are in his music library that he hasn't listen to yet. (1) 'Red Eyes – Switchfoot'. It's quite nice.

His mind wandering. That idiot had really nice eyes, the most blue I've ever seen. Hmm. Eyes. And with that thought, Sasuke's pale lids closed over his unusual dark burgundy orbs.

TBC

A/N: Yeah its short! Sorry, I just have like… ZERO time to write now.. exams soon! But once they are over, I have waayy more free time to write. Woohoo! I honestly don't know when I'm going to update this next. More likely to update Those Eyes. Go check it out! R&R please :)

(1) I actually do this in real life, because I just copy masses of songs and I can't listen to every single one. So I do this occasionally when I get tired of my Playlist. And Switchfoot is really good.
